In August 1998, Rammstein held a landmark performance at the Wuhlheide in Berlin, which was part of a two-night engagement attended by over 17,000 fans. At this point in their career, Rammstein had already established themselves with their second studio album, "Sehnsucht," released in 1997. This album significantly contributed to their international breakthrough, featuring hits like "Du Hast" and "Engel." The live show was not only a testament to their growing popularity but also marked the largest performance in their history up until that time. The concerts were filmed for the release of "Live aus Berlin," showcasing their theatrical stage presence and elaborate pyrotechnics. Rammstein's unique blend of heavy metal and theatrical performance, coupled with their controversial lyrics and imagery, set them apart in the music scene, making these live recordings particularly significant in capturing their early era of global recognition.
